Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Political Career Through 1860: River and Harbor Convention; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources
Among Chicago's twenty thousand visitors were dele gates from most of the states, including faraway Florida. The throng put a strain on the galluses of the young city. The visitors, overflowing the hotels and lodging houses, slept in private homes or on the river boats in which they had come. The eastern papers sent correspondents, among them Greeley and Thurlow Weed. There was a big parade with bands, military companies, and the Chi cago fire department. Cannons boomed. It was, said Greeley, the biggest shindig ever held in America, and Chicago was a city of destiny. Go West, young man.
